Thank you for your support, Stacia! <3 I’d read through your entire thread, and it struck me how similar our fasts were. Something about getting through the second week feels daunting. Are you resuming your fast anytime soon?
Reem’s Freedom & Flexibility Fast
Hi Reemy! Thank you so much for your support! I’ve enjoyed reading your journal !! I too have started a new fast today with no set goal … my most enjoyable, easiest fast was the one I didn’t set a time … just going with my what my body says… the minute I set a date my head starts playing games with me and I start future tripping on how long that is and how I just want food. I loved how hunger goes away after a few days … sure is hard to start back up again so I’d rather just see how far I can go 
… I’m rooting for you ! I’m on day 1 (started today at noon) …

Especially considering I broke my fast after a measly 2 days -.-
Feeling very discouraged atm.
Hope your fast is going well so far, Stacia! About to check in on your thread right now, actually…
Hi Reemy ! Thank you for your message! Been a foodie few days … I hate the hell of the food obsession… it takes my peace away and so unfun … 
… you’d think I’d be loving eating but I’m not, I’m trying to dive into why I feel the need to stuff my face instead of live life ya know? Everyday I’m learning something new … … I’m thinking of you and rooting for your success !! I know we can find our joy in this process !!

Oooo, I may have a subtle mind set change offering!
What happens if you shift your focus to what you want?
You want to fast and lose some weight too right? Why?
I believe the other answers will reveal themselves and don’t need the attention.
It’s more of the law of attraction mindset.
Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.
Fasting will in itself bring emotions bubbling out. I feel like those thoughts and emotions are buried in my excess fat and fasting has been beneficial bringing it all to surface.
I’m currently beginning to burn into my 2014-2015 issues based on my weight today. It’s the year I left my ex fiance and migrated here to Florida. By the time my fast is complete I’ll be back in 2007:rofl:. Now if some autophagy can keep up I’ll be fighting the boys off.
